Chapter 95 This kid is too eccentric
The mountain wind was fierce, and the shadows of the leaves were heavy. Shen Qing hid on the tree trunk and observed the terrain through the gaps in the branches and leaves.
Torches were still burning in the stone house in the distance. Having such good hearing was now a torment. He gripped the hilt of the knife at his waist and forced himself to remain calm.
Those few henchmen could be easily killed, but it would definitely alert others, and he wouldn't be able to rescue the girl inside.
Individual combat strength is not enough against the power of a gang. Shen Qing thought that he still needed to pass on the intelligence of the mountain stronghold and cooperate with the official army from the inside.
He is capable of performing beheadings, but how can he establish contact with the outside world and coordinate with them?
Just as he was worrying, Shen Qing's ears twitched. He heard light footsteps and looked down from his vantage point.
A man in black was seen stealthily approaching the stone house. Was he a fellow traveler?
The person lurking around here is definitely not from Tiger Head Mountain. Regardless of which side you're on, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Perhaps we can use this person.
Let's see what this person is going to do before making a decision.
The dark figure moved to the upwind side, using a protruding mountain wall as cover. He took out something from his pocket, lit a tinderbox, and gently pushed the smoking bamboo tube out.
The bamboo tube rolled along, the soft sound mingling with the rustling of leaves, going unnoticed. Gray smoke, hidden in the night, drifted with the wind towards the stone house.
The thugs queuing at the entrance felt drowsy and gradually began to lose their balance.
What does it taste like?
"Oh no! Enemy attack!"
One of the more alert bandits took out his whistle, intending to blow it as a warning.
"Uh--"
Before the whistle blew, a dart struck the man squarely in the throat, while the other bandits, caught off guard, were also knocked unconscious and collapsed.
"What happened?"
The sound of a body falling startled the bandits who were conducting business inside the stone house. Two men, not even properly dressed, came out and saw their fallen companions. The alarm bells rang, but they, too, didn't have time to utter a sound before being struck in the throat by a dart. They fell to the ground with their eyes wide open, dying with their eyes wide open.
As Shen Qing was shocked by the black-clad man's accuracy, she saw him move with lightning speed, quickly rushing into the stone house. Then, she heard two short screams, and blood splattered on the window.
Shen Qing knew that the last bandits had been dealt with. Looking at this fierce and powerful operation, he sighed and said, "We should never underestimate the heroes of the world!"
Wait a minute, why aren't those women screaming?
Why didn't they scream? The naked woman lying face down in the stone house stared numbly at the bloody scene before her. Compared to the deaths of the kidnapped women, this was far more tragic. It was just another group of bandits. What difference did it make to them?
After dealing with the remaining bandits, the man in black finally had the energy to check the situation inside the stone house. What he saw made his eyes flash with cold light, and his murderous aura became even more chilling.
He turned his head away, unable to bear to look, yet he had no choice but to. His heart, which had remained unmoved even when he infiltrated the mountain stronghold alone to kill, was now pounding wildly as his gaze swept over the bodies covered in filth and mottled wounds.
He breathed a sigh of relief. Mingzhu wasn't here. Then his heart jumped again. Where was Mingzhu?
Suddenly, his gaze fixed on something, and he strode forward, squatting down in front of a woman and brushing aside her disheveled hair.
"Pan Ying".
The woman's empty eyes stirred slightly. She stiffly looked up at him. Although her face was covered, her captivating eyes were enough for her to recognize him.
My already numb heart suddenly clenched with pain. "Get away! Get away!"
Pan Ying curled up and kept backing away, her whole body trembling with emotion.
The man in black looked at her with pity and took off his outer robe to drape it over her.
"Don't be afraid, I will get you out of here."
"Heh~ Go out?" Her hair once again covered half of Pan Ying's face. "What's the point of me going out? You might as well just give me a quick death!"
"Cheer up! Madam Pan only has one daughter, you. What will happen to her if you die?"
When Madam Pan was mentioned, Pan Ying paused, then began to sob: "The way I am only bringing shame upon her."
"No, the person who loves you is too busy cherishing you."
The crying gradually subsided, and seeing that Pan Ying seemed to have calmed down, she asked, "Do you know where Mingzhu is?"
"You came here to see Ye Mingzhu?" Seeing the man nod, Pan Ying smiled sarcastically. "Do you like her?"
"Yes."
Even if she were like me, would you still marry her?
"meeting!"
Looking at the boy's determined eyes, Pan Ying didn't quite believe it. "Alright, Zhen'e, I'll tell you. The bandits who came just now said that Ye Mingzhu is having her wedding night with their new sixth leader."
Zhen E's breath hitched, his fingertips dug into his palms, his knuckles turning white, and his teeth chattered. "Where is that Sixth Master?!"
"I'm here."
Zhen E quickly turned around, drew his sword, and assumed a defensive posture. He was completely unaware that this person was approaching!
"You are Zhen E?" Shen Qing had been listening outside for a long time. So it turned out to be an ally. What a coincidence! Just when I was about to fall asleep, someone delivered a pillow to my head.
"Are you the sixth leader of Tiger Head Mountain?" Zhen E found it hard to connect the handsome young man in front of him with the fierce and ruthless bandit leader.
"Yes..." Before he could finish speaking, a blade came slashing down at him, but Shen Qing dodged it to the side.
"Wait a minute! Shouldn't you let me take you to see Mingzhu first!?"
"Mingzhu?" Zhen E gritted his teeth. "What right do you have to call her by her name!"
"..."
Are you crazy?! At a time like this, you still can't find the point!
Shen Qing didn't bother arguing with the child and stopped being mysterious, saying directly, "I can take you to see... Madam Ye."
"You're really that kind?"
"Actually, I was forced into this situation too," Shen Qing said wistfully.
"This is Tiger Head Mountain."
“…” Shen Qing sighed, “Fine, I’m forced into this situation.”
To avoid further misunderstandings, Shen Qing briefly explained what had happened.
Zhen E was skeptical, "Then take me to see Mingzhu now."
"Wait a minute, just to be on the safe side, I need to confirm that you are really Zhen E."
How can you prove it?
Shen Qing thought for a moment, "Take off your face mask."
Zhen E was puzzled, but still did as she was told to remove her face mask and reveal her face.
Now it was Shen Qing's turn to have a bad expression. Looking at that handsome face that was so irresistible, he deserved the reputation of being the most handsome young man in Fancheng. It must be Zhen E.
"Let's go."
Shen Qing stepped out of the room first. A mountain breeze blew in, and Zhen E sniffed the air. His expression changed instantly, and he drew his sword again.
"Holy crap! What are you doing!" Shen Qing, who had dodged the sneak attack, was furious and drew her twin swords.
"You lecherous scoundrel! You claim you haven't done anything wrong, so why do you have the scent of Mingzhu on you?!"
"???"
Shen Qing suddenly remembered that she had a brief close encounter with Ye Mingzhu when she was teaching her how to use a crossbow.
This lunatic even has a dog's nose!
